Blankets and comics. My two favorite things.
To answer your question about gift reciprocity, I really haven't had an issue with giving someone something and feeling like it didn't matter to them. I'm uh...not so great at the gift thing. I'm one of those
well...gotta find something because it's, you know, kinda what you're supposed to do types. (It's not that I don't value
giving, I do love making people happy! But I'm so bad at getting people gifts!)
So when I give a gift, it's usually to someone I'd give a gift to
anyway, and if they don't seem particularly crazy about it or forget to thank me (that really hasn't happened much though) I just think
well...at least I jumped that social hoop!
